Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Vogue Headcollar & Leadrope is designed for horse owners who prioritize equine comfort and pressure relief during daily handling and travel. It features plush fleece inserts strategically placed at the poll, cheeks, and noseband to prevent rubbing and ensure even pressure distribution, making it an ideal choice for sensitive horses. While the fleece lining offers exceptional padding and comfort, it requires regular maintenance to prevent dirt buildup that can irritate the skin over time.

FAQs
Can I leave this headcollar on in the field?
It is not recommended for full-time turnout, as the fleece can trap dirt and moisture, which may lead to skin irritation or attract unwanted debris.
Is the leadrope included?
Yes, every LeMieux Vogue Headcollar comes with a coordinating 1.8m leadrope.
How do I clean the fleece sections?
Gently brush off dry dirt after use, or hand wash with mild detergent and air dry to maintain the softness of the fleece.
Does the headcollar adjust on both sides?
Yes, it features double pin buckles on the headpiece, allowing you to adjust both sides for a balanced fit.
What size is the headcollar?
The headcollar is designed with multiple adjustment points to provide a custom fit for a wide range of horses and ponies.
Is the hardware rust-resistant?
The hardware is durable, but like all metal components, it should be kept dry and wiped down after exposure to rain or water to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Headcollar is rubbing despite fleece padding
The headcollar is likely fitted too tightly; loosen the adjustment points on the poll and curb to allow for more movement.
Buckles are difficult to fasten
Ensure the nylon straps are free from grit and debris. If stiff, apply a light leather or webbing conditioner to the surrounding area.
Fleece appears matted or flat
Use a stiff curry comb or a slicker brush gently on the fleece to lift the fibers and restore the fluffiness after washing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality soft fleece padding reduces risk of rubs
- Highly adjustable design fits most horse head shapes
- Includes a matching 1.8m leadrope
- Easy-to-use trigger clip for quick removal
Cons
- Fleece material can attract hay, debris, and dirt
- Requires more frequent cleaning than standard nylon headcollars
- Not intended for turnout in muddy conditions where fleece can become damp
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, start by loosening the adjustable points at the curb and the double pin buckles at the poll. Once the headcollar is on the horse, adjust the poll straps symmetrically so the noseband sits comfortably across the nasal bone without restricting breathing.
Care instructions involve keeping the fleece clean to maintain its plush texture. Brush off dried mud or debris after each use with a soft-bristled grooming brush. If the fleece becomes heavily soiled, hand wash it in cool water with a mild, horse-safe detergent, and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources to prevent the nylon from becoming brittle.
